Hippo CITES permit?

True. I called yesterday to get more info as I've seen Robert posting. Thought he may be back at work. Prayers
 
Hi guy's , anyone know if I need an import permit for hippo? I know I need one to export out of Africa.

@johnnyblues I can tell you that I imported one in December. (feet and tusks) I did not pay for or complete any paperwork above and beyond what was required for the other animals such as kudu, impala, bushbuck, duiker, cape buffalo, waterbuck. I did not pay more to Coppersmith for import on the Hippo's account. The export fees were the same. The dip and pack fees were the same.

So, while I don't know "what is required" I know that no special costs or time were required to get the hippo delivered to the USA.

Fantastic. That should do it. Thank you.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.

Have twice tried to post something that your site canned as "SPAM" or some problem.. "Contact the Administrator"... Not sure why even the "Contact" button would not send my comment so you only received my query but not the content in question. I'll see if I can get it to you this way... NOPE I use a VPN and perhaps that is causing me grief...
